Become a mapCrowder

mapCrowd aims to enhance HCV information and advocacy worldwide.
Analyzing data from the 23 countries
initially included in mapCrowd and producing key findings is simply the first
step. By adding more contributors and thus more country information,
mapCrowd will be able to highlight recent HCV developments with comprehensive,
up-to-date data. At the same time, this growing network of advocates will more
easily be able to share knowledge and mobilize information supporting their advocacy. People with HCV, those
who work in public health and development, and the larger international health community all stand to benefit from mapCrowd’s
continued growth.

To
accomplish this, we are seeking to identify and enlist more qualified HCV
experts to join the mapCrowd project on a voluntary basis. Ideal mapCrowder candidates will be strongly involved in HCV
advocacy work in their respective countries, or have a medical or public
health background. As data are often highly limited
or difficult to obtain, we are looking for candidates who have a strong network
of local contacts and a capacity to support national level data collection on a
range of topic areas.

Why become a mapCrowder

There are numerous benefits to participating in the mapCrowd project. As a mapCrowder, you will have the opportunity to:

Contribute valuable information that will advance global understanding of the HCV epidemic, lead to an informed response and enhance advocacy efforts around the world,

Connect with a growing, international network of HCV experts and activists,

Develop and maintain national-level contacts that can support data collection and estimations,

Raise the visibility of your organization and it’s mission and objectives.

As
more mapCrowders join, the stronger mapCrowd will be at generating data that highlights and helps break down barriers to HCV testing and treatment around
the world. Findings based on these data will be presented and publicized in
future annual reports.
